[edit] International perspective
It should probably be stated that this is an article regarding the US structure of business. There are some fundamental differences in other countrys setup.
[edit] Variations
This section is so wrong:
"Corporate titles are sometimes given more for prestige than out of any differentiation in job function. For example, at CIBC and BMO Financial Group, the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO) was created solely to facilitate the transition, as a means of grooming the future CEO before the current CEO retired. The division head (perhaps Executive Vice President or CEO of a division) is promoted to COO and takes over day-to-day and strategic planning, while the outgoing CEO is relegated to advisory duties. Once the new CEO formally takes power, the COO position is not replaced."
That is not about prestige. That is a proper use of the titles and a logical way to transition a new CEO. The COO is responsible for the operations, in the example above it gave this person experience at running the whole company. But the CEO is responsible for all strategic decisions. There is a difference between a CEO and COO/CAO/President. Most people do not know this, and may see it only as prestige, but that is incorrect.
This part of the section is also wrong:
"Executive Vice President is most frequently used to refer to a division head, however this position can also be know as Vice Chairman, or even President and CEO of the division, depending upon corporation structure, especially in the latter case when it is operated as a wholely-owned subsidiary instead of an internal division."
I have never heard of a Vice President being called a Vice Chairman instead. The role of Chairman is completely different than President or Vice-President. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.175.222 (talk) 16:30, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
Consider combining with Business titles which seems to be pretty congruent. Unless there is a specific reason for not doing so, please somebody either delete this article or artfully mix them in some way!

I agree, it should be merged. --Comperr
I agree they should be merged (don't just delete one). Strawberry Island 04:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Agree. Merge. Legis 16:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes, both articles are largely the same. Merged, they represent a more broad and accurate definition. - ep
I did not know meaning of "C level" and would not have known to look up "Corporate title" or "Business title". I simply saw it in a number of job descriptions and wanted to know what "C level" meant. I was VERY happy that it came up right away like it did in Wikipedia, so IF it is merged, that ability should NOT be removed. If merging would eliminate the ability to find the meaning of the term quickly, then I am against it.

[edit] Title
Is there any concept for corporate title for someone who represent his company in another country. I mean to say like Country manager or country representative. OR What is a title for those who represent his corporate/company in another country to increase sales or marketing purpose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.71.35.158 (talk) 08:20, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
